We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Zack Greinke FD 9500 DK 11300 Opponent - KC (Kennedy) Park - @KC FD - 36.37 DK - 24.1 With just a few days remaining in the regular season, there is no such thing as a safe pitcher. Rarely anyone will see over 90 pitches and the guys that couldn't arent in the best spots. Greinke has seen 89 and 107 in his last two, so he has as good of a shot as any to last over the 90 mark. He also has one of the more dramatic park shifts possible, moving from Chase Field to the spacious Kauffman Stadium. I can't stress how much of a difference it is to pitch in those 2 parks. Greinke would be in Cy Young discussions of he pitched half of his games in Kansas City. On the season, Greinke has sported a .278 wOBA against both lefties and righties. He's striking out 9.48 batters per nine innings and walking just under two. This version of Zack Greinke is as good as it's ever been, and the match-up is there as well. The Royals have been average against righties with a .314 wOBA and 22% strikeout rate. Greinke is the safest option on the board and a guy I'll have flooding my cash games. Stephen Strasburg FD 10500 DK 12000 Opponent - PIT (Cole) Park - @WSH FD - 40.29 DK - 26.44 If there is one manager in baseball who doesn't care about pitch count, it's Dusty Baker. While he's been a bit better this year, he's not a guy to pull a pitcher at 90 pitches that's cruising. He will let Stras get to at least 100 if the Pirates are whiffing left and right. He does have more inherent risk than a guy like Greinke, but the upside is greater too. The Pirates are far better against lefties and have ranked 22nd in the league against righties with a .307 team wOBA. They also strikeout at a solid 22% clip since the ASB. Strasburg is having his best season yet and is almost to the point where he's not that boom/bust we're used to. He has contained both sides of the plate with a combined .258 wOBA and 10.37...

We've got you completely covered. Milwaukee Brewers If you read the main picks article, you know how much we love the Brewers tonight. Facing off with Homer Bailey, it's very hard not to. On the season, Bailey has managed to allow a .412 wOBA to righties and a .357 to righties. He is still getting starts over prospects for whatever reason and it's something we can take advantage of. The top 5 of the order is extremely lethal and I'm not sure I like any of them over the next. I think Braun is probably my favorite if I had to pick, just because I think he goes lower-owned as a righty. Thames, Walker, Vogt, and Santana are all excellent plays and all are in play for the cash game stack. The rest of the order is pretty interesting, as they have a ton power. A guy like Orlando Arcia might only be 3 or 4% owned, but he could hit an HR and be the key piece that makes your lineup just a bit different. All in all, the Brewers are going to put up runs and you should be getting exposure somewhere. Main Stack - Ryan Braun, Travis Shaw, Neil Walker, Eric Thames Sneaky Stack - Ryan Braun, Travis Shaw, Domingo Santana, Stephen Vogt New York Yankees The Yankees stack is one that should be very popular tonight, but I don't think it will be. Matt Andriese is a right-handed gas can that has been far worse against opposing righties. Posting a .383 wOBA against righties, Andriese is going to have a hell of a lot of trouble with the likes of Sanchez and Judge, who also hit righties better. This is a perfect recipe for both of these guys and I'll be looking to jump on as much as possible. Didi Gregorius and Starling Castro come next at weaker positions. They have plenty of upside and can make something happen with 1 swing. All in, the Yankees stack comes down to the big 2. It does seem like they hit a home run every night, though. The rest of...

We've got you completely covered. Justin Verlander FD 10900 DK 13600 Opponent - TEX (Martinez) Park - @TEXFD - 35.11 DK - 23.29 With only 4 games on this early slate, the pickings are somewhat slim for pitcher. Especially when you consider 2 of the games are in Coors Field and Chase Field. The 2 best places to hit in baseball. The other match-up is a thriller between Erasmo Ramirez and Kendall Graveman. That leaves us with Arlington and a dual between Nick Martinez and Justin Verlander. Martinez is absolutely dreadful, so Verlander will be our guy. He's been over 6 innings in 13 straight starts and has gone 7 innings in 8 of them. He's striking out around 10 batters per 9 and walking just 1. The Rangers are a solid offense, but Verlander is the best pitcher on the slate and it's not too close. 100% Verlander for me on this early slate. Let's hope that's above the field. Danny Salazar FD 8500 DK 6400 Opponent - MIN (Mejia) Park - @CLEFD - 29.36 DK - 19.42 We looked at Luis Severino and Garrett Richards in the main picks article and they remain the top plays of the slate in both cash games and tournaments. Next, we'll take a look at Danny Salazar. The Indians moved him to the bullpen a little over a month ago and he's been pretty solid. He will get 1 more start before the end of the regular season and while there's no official pitch count, I assume it's around 85. The only reason I don't really care is because you can't comfortably predict any more out of anyone else. Salazar is an elite K (12.32) arm who is inherently risky. He faces off with a. twins team that can strikeout, but also hit a bit against righties. Salazar is a guy I'll have some GPP exposure to on DK, but that's about it. Severino is the man in cash games and I can't recommend you do anything different. GRAB A FREE TRIAL OF OUR PROJECTION SYSTEM, AND CHECK OUT DFSR PRO! START FREE TRIAL NOW! GET...

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Luis Severino FD 10400 DK 12400 Opponent - TB (Andriese) Park - @NYY FD - 42.86 DK - 28.24 This late in the year, there isn't a single pitcher that is safe on any given night. Most guys are only seeing 80-90 pitches and the others aren't very good. While we will occasionaly see a game with a contender looking for a spot, we don't have any that stick out tonight. There are some teams in contention or guarding a spot, but they aren't in great spots. We're going to look at Luis Severino first, who falls in the first set. He may only see an upwards of 90 or 95 pitches, but they should be very productive against the Rays. We know how bad the Rays have been all year long and over just the last 60 days, they have held a team .301 wOBA and 24% strikeout rate against righties. On the season, the wOBA rises just .2 and the K rate jumps to nearly 26%. They're also far worse on the road with a .287 wOBA, so the Rays are all kinds of bad against right-handed pitching. Severino on the other hand, has posted a .274 combined wOBA while striking out 10.62 batters per 9 innings. He's an elite pitcher at this point and you have to look at him as the safest option on the board. The Rays stink, the Yankees want to win and Severino is a great pitcher. That's all you can ask for at this point in the season. Garrett Richards FD 7200 DK 7900 Opponent - CHW (Lopez) Park - @CHW FD - 28.18 DK - 18.66 If you need some extra money and are still looking for some safety, Garrett Richards is a solid choice. If you haven't been paying attention to the MLB for very long, Richards may not be a familiar name. He was a huge Angels prospect and the ace coming into 2015, but has been dealing with injuries on and off ever since. The point is that he has the pedigree and the "stuff" to get it done. He also faces one of the worst offenses in baseball in the Chicago White Sox. The offense is just Yoan...

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Yu Darvish FD 9600 DK 12300 Opponent - SD (Wood) Park - @LAD FD - 35.95 DK - 23.79 Nearing the end of the season, you can almost throw the word "safe" out the window when talking about pitching. Most guys are either coasting into the playoffs and only throwing 85-95 pitches or they are out of the race and winding down. Darvish is part of that first group, but at least he has everything else working for him. Even at 95 pitches, Darvish should be able to produce against the Padres. He has dominated in his last 2 with 0 earned runs in 12 innings, but a lot of people are still scared about that rough stretch beforehand. Darvish is one of the nastiest starters in the league and will always hold an elite strikeout rate (10.2). Against the Padres in Dodgers Field, he's safe. The Padres have posted a .299 wOBA against righties and have backed it up with a putrid 25.1% strikeout rate. Darvish is expensive, but he's probably your safest bet for a quality start. Jon Lester FD 8400 DK 8400 Opponent - STL (Weaver) Park - @STL FD - 32.17 DK - 21.31 Jon Lester was absolutely horrible last start, so I don't think many will want to play him with so many talented arms on the slate. Lester is one of the rare pitchers who doesn't fit into either of the 2 aforementioned categories. The Cubs are playing for the division lead and the Cardinals are the team chasing them. Lester is extremely good against left-handed dominant lineups and we know the Cardinals are much worse against lefties. On the season, the Cards have sported a .331 wOBA and a 23% strikeout rate. Busch Stadium is much better for pitching than Wrigley Field and Lester has held a .276 combined wOBA on the road. His price is a bit lower than it should be on both sites and I'll have exposure in both formats. Lester is a big game pitcher and I would expect him to get into postseason form before long. We know the Cardinals can be shut down. They also lack the big speed that usually gets to Lester and causes him to...
